Do you Invest in Social and Environmental Change?
Would you like to help create a cultural shift toward WE and the Common Good at this perilous moment in American History?
The Mission of WE Power America
It is Through the Power of WE that Society can be Transformed
Let’s build the public support and political will needed to create Green Jobs and Infrastructure programs that lift up millions and supercharge our economy. At the same time we can defuse the Culture Wars – shifting the conversation to WE and the Common Good by making sure the needs of ALL people are met, no matter whether they lean Red or Blue.
🌎 Mobilize at least 2 million people creating the pivotal groundswell needed to build public support and political will for the creation of massive green jobs programs and investment in innovative green infrastructure projects, which are crucial for a livable future!
🌎 Build a narrative and media message that clearly informs millions of Americans about the tremendous health, economic, environmental, and security benefits that renewable energy, as the primary energy system, will bring to the United States.
🌎 Powerfully address the extreme political polarization in the US with a unifying message about WE and the Common Good that provides a compelling path away from the “Us vs. Them” mentality.
WE can Create a Breakthrough for a Regenerative Future by Combining 3 Compelling Strategies
The Time to Act for America is NOW!
1
Targeted regional media campaign with TV & Radio Ads, Public Service Announcements, press conferences, and influencer media appearances in major media markets and on social media
2
Local on-the-ground organizing with Town Hall Meetings with elected officials and community leaders, public forums, college campus talks, concerts, civic actions, and rallies in areas where there is strong resistance to making the renewable energy transition
3
Inspired and unifying message that focuses on WE and the Common Good with uninterrupted Power for all
What kind of America can WE build together?
Imagine if millions of Americans finally understood the tremendous economic and health benefits of building a Green Energy powered society!
Using our powerful, world-class network of influencers, visionaries, green economy designers and media experts, our campaign is designed to inspire, inform and involve millions in a movement to make this happen at the scale and speed necessary.
In the United States as many as 90,000 people die every year from air pollution. And recently, the World Health Organization reported that air pollution is now the world’s largest single environmental health risk – around 7 million people die from air pollution globally each year. Even more startling: in the 20th century more people died from air pollution than all the wars combined!
Policies of expanding renewable energy systems and minimizing the use of fossil fuels can not only address imminent catastrophic climate change, they can also save thousands of lives in the US and millions more around the world right now. And making the transition to renewables can be of huge benefit to the US economy by creating jobs, building infrastructure, and sparking innovation with the Smart Grid and the Energy Internet.
Our Renewable Energy Media Campaign will have celebrity spokespeople and feature a consortium of solar, wind and other non-polluting renewable energy providers and partner groups. Under the banner of WE Power America they will collectively begin to have a recognizable media presence that inspires people and increases public awareness, support and coordinated action. The campaign will also help promote the importance of “WE” thinking and the Common Good that prioritizes the wellbeing of all people and the entire web of life.
Meeting the Challenge
In the wake of the United States withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accord, and the recent warning of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, we feel it is more important than ever to launch WE Power America! It is designed to engage millions of people in a movement for Health, Economic Prosperity, International Peace, and a Livable Future for generations to come.

Bill McKibben (whose organization 350.org was the primary organizer of some of the largest Climate Marches and other similar actions on the planet), Nobel Laureate Desmond Tutu, Jane Goodall, and many other organization allies (which together have millions of constituents) have already said they would support and participate in We, The World’s Renewable Energy Media Campaign!
WE, The World was founded in 1998 by Rick Ulfik and is based in New York City. The Mission of We, The World is to maximize social change globally – until we have a world that works for all.

Investing in Change 🌏
In the wake of the United States withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accord, and the recent warning of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, we feel it is more important than ever to launch our proposed WE Power America Renewable Energy Media Campaign. It is designed to engage millions of people in a movement for Health, Economic Prosperity, International Peace, and a Livable Future for generations to come.
Yes. WE Power America has a double meaning. It’s not just about Solar Power and Wind Energy providers with innovations to improve the economy and people’s lives. It’s also about WE Power – the Power of WE when people come together to transform their society for the Common Good. WE Power America is a Major Movement Builder, as well as an Awareness Campaign to set the record straight for the American people.
We are starting this campaign in the United States because the US is one of the world’s primary polluters and greenhouse gas emitters. And the US has a tremendous influence on the rest of the world socially, politically, economically and environmentally. We would be thrilled to inspire and work with sister movements such as WE Power Brazil, WE Power France and in other countries worldwide!
Yes! The idea of making a “Just Transition” for workers moving away from fossil fuel jobs and entering the Clean Energy industry is an important feature of this media campaign. It is essential for the American people to understand that these workers’ economic security and well-being is a core aspect of making the transition to Renewable Energy as the primary energy system in the USA.
No! WE Power America is non-partisan and non-political. It is about meeting people’s needs and improving their lives no matter where they live and what their political beliefs are. Since the Climate Crisis and other environmental issues are being politicized quite a bit, the WE Power America Campaign emphasizes other important aspects we don’t hear as much about, such as the potential to save thousands of people’s lives every year who are currently dying from air pollution.
